Any way we could get a photo looking down the side of the car from the front? I would like to see if there is any wheel/tire poking out of the fender.

Thanks for the pics!

I love how all you need is a rim and a drop to make the limited model BRZ look perfect. I wouldn't change a thing on the outside after this. Well maybe try to find the JDM exhaust tips.

it was like 24.5 vs 24.4. (ROUGH NUMBERS). The 235/40-18 weighed more and was .5 taller.

Hrm I have some 245/40/18 wheels/tires @ 18x8 +45 offset I'm going to try when we get our BRZ. The speedo will be off a little bit but the tires are way better than the Prius tires. Hopefully they work nicely.

Car looks great btw Myles. A set of springs from you guys + sways will be the first items on the list. Already have wheels/tires obviously.

I look forward to seeing where your car goes in development!

Thanks ! I will tell you that the 245/40-18 is a VERY tall tire compared to the 35 version. The OEM tire from the STI btw is on average MUCH taller than other 245/40-18's. Keep that in mind.

Want those springs........

colHolm · 06-06-2012, 11:10 AM

looks tight.

Looks great! Thanks for posting. I have CH's on my M3 and was always curios on how it would look. Where did you get them?

Klinn · 06-06-2012, 12:38 PM

Great job! Perfect way to set off a wonderful car.

Noticed any rubbing yet with a 245 at the front? Eg. at full lock and/or over bumps?

The tires I'd be using are used Bridgestone RE760 Sports. Looks like the speedo will be off 3mph too slow @ 60mph but I'll give it a go. If things don't feel good I can always switch back. They're just what I have available. I'd much rather have properly sized star specs on it.

Stock shocks?

Not worried about any sort of a performance hit with the 18s?

I'm undecided between 17s and 18s... lots of variables! Tire selection, performance, ride, weight, etc etc.
